Plant-Based Filling Machine in Texas
SDH-R automatic plant-based filling, sealing & cupping for Texas food producers. Servo-driven precision at 30 cups per minute — from $45,000 USD.
Plant-Based Packaging for Texas Producers
The plant-based dip and spread market is projected to grow at 12%+ annually through 2030. Vegan cream cheese, cashew-based spreads, coconut yogurt, oat-based dips, and almond ricotta are entering retail at unprecedented rates. The SDH-R gives plant-based food startups and scaling brands the same automated cup-packaging capability that legacy dairy companies use — at an accessible $45,000 entry point.
Texas food producers operate across the state's four major metros — Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin — with additional hubs in the Rio Grande Valley and Lubbock. The state's proximity to Mexico and large Hispanic population drive the strongest salsa and queso market in the country. Austin's booming food startup scene has produced dozens of artisan hot-sauce and dip brands in the past five years. The SDH-R's interchangeable tooling lets Texas producers handle thick queso, chunky pico de gallo, and smooth hummus on the same line.
Why Plant-Based Brands Choose the SDH-R
Startup-Accessible Automation
At $45,000 for a single filler configuration, the SDH-R is within reach of VC-funded and bootstrapped plant-based startups scaling from farmers' markets to retail shelves.
Multi-Product Versatility
Fill cashew cream cheese, then coconut yogurt, then almond ricotta on the same machine. PLC recipe storage and 15-minute changeovers support multi-SKU product lines.
Allergen Segregation
Validated CIP and tool-free disassembly ensure complete cleaning between nut-based, soy-based, and oat-based products for allergen-safe production.
Clean Label Packaging
MAP nitrogen flushing extends shelf life without preservatives — aligning with the clean-label expectations of plant-based consumers.

How the SDH-R Fills Plant-Based in Texas
Fully automatic process — no manual labour required
Cup Denesting
Empty cups are automatically separated from a nested stack and placed into the rotary table carriers. The pneumatic denester handles round, square, and rectangular cups from 2oz to 32oz — standard formats for plant-based packaging in Texas.
Servo-Driven Filling
The volumetric piston filler draws a precise dose of plant-based and dispenses it into the cup. Servo control adjusts stroke length and speed per recipe, maintaining ±0.5% fill-weight accuracy across production runs for Texas retail compliance.
Membrane Heat Sealing
Roll-stock film is drawn across the filled cup and heat-sealed to create a tamper-evident, airtight membrane. Temperature, pressure, and dwell time are individually controlled to match your specific film and cup material.
Snap-On Lid (Optional)
A pick-and-place mechanism applies a consumer-friendly snap-on lid over the membrane seal. This two-barrier system provides tamper evidence and reclosability — the standard expected by grocery retailers.
MAP Nitrogen Flush (Optional)
Modified Atmosphere Packaging replaces oxygen with food-grade nitrogen before sealing. For plant-based, this extends refrigerated shelf life from 7–10 days to 30–45+ days — essential for retail distribution in Texas.
